To provide engineering & design solutions from work winning concept phase to practical completion of projects with the common goal to win projects and to increase site net margin.

Key Tasks & Responsibilities:

• Deliver competitive designs (wholistic rather than simply pile element).
• Ensure design efficiency and buildability. Take full accountability for creating designs that are not only efficient but also practical and buildable, with input from collaboration with the operational teams.
• Provide technical and design support to all BSL departments and be fully integrated to the estimating teams and operational teams to aid their performance.
• Responsible for cage standardisation with the approval of the PM (cost).
• Provide controlled pile schedules tailored to site.
• Responsible for the production of fabrication drawings including temporary works/ lifting points in the cages.
• Leading, checking, and approving fabrication drawings from cage suppliers.
• Responsible for the production of the method drawings (cage installation, central bar installation, etc...).
• Ensuring method drawings are understood by key people onsite (work manager pm supervisor).
• Responsible for the production of the PTP and WTP drawings.
• Analyse the project input in order to interrogate it, reach an agreement and integrated in a design solution.
• Design on performance-based approach, observational approach rather than compliance approach.
• Contribute to deliver technical handover to operational teams. Define pre-agreed mitigations (anticipation vs reaction).
• Attend external meetings with Clients.
• Manage internal and external clients’ expectations.
• Embrace, promote positively and meet KPI set out by the Engineering Manager.
• Contribute to the continued improvement of the Engineering process within the department.

• Appreciation of ground condition risks (mining / sink holes / scour features).
• Basic CAD skills to produce simple method related drawings / cross sections with geology.
• Knowledge of construction processes, methods and site practices.
• Familiarity with software packages such as WALLAP would be advantageous.
• Ability to identify, assess and highlight technical and commercial risks.
• Agility and ability to work at speed on multiple workstreams concurrently and work under pressure.
• Willingness to attend the office and work as part of fast paced teams.
